Imagine All The Good A Wish Can Do

If a child can imagine it, we're happy to help make it happen. From comedy nights to miniature golf, here's a glimpse of the kinds of experiences your donation supports.

A Night of Laughs or Improv

A wish might mean an evening at the Monkey Business Institute laughing along with stand-up comedians, or trying out improv acting at WhoopDeDoo Productions.

Music and an Afternoon on the Lake

Some kids wish to watch the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra perform on the capitol lawn, or go sailing on Lake Mendota on a sunny afternoon.

Madison Children's Museum

A day at the Madison Children's Museum lets kids create something special at the Bakke Art Studio or learn about colonial life in the Brand Log Cabin.

A Play or a Night Cheering on the Badgers

A child with a critical illness might wish to watch the Young Shakespeare Players put on a show, or spend an evening with loved ones at the Kohl Center cheering on the Badgers.

George Vitense Golfland

An aspiring golf star might wish for a day of miniature golf at George Vitense Golfland.

Burnie's Rock Shop and Ear Wax Records

A future geologist could get lost for a day at Burnie's Rock Shop, while a music lover might enjoy the experience of browsing Ear Wax Records.

Sundance Cinemas

Or maybe it's seeing the latest blockbuster at Sundance Cinemas with family and friends. Even a typical day out for some can be a wish come true.

If you're interested in knowing where to donate a car, Wheels For Wishes is the place. Your generous tax deductible donation helps make wishes come true for a child with a critical illness nearby.

The Tax Benefits of Your Madison Car Donation

You can claim your deduction only if you itemize deductions on your return. We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor about your specific situation.

You never need an appraisal to donate. We send your tax receipt within 30 days of your vehicle selling, so you'll have what you need well ahead of tax season.

Your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year, which makes late December a great time to donate if you're planning ahead for your return.

Title Transfer and Paperwork

Our team can help with the title transfer for your donation. If you have questions about the process, we're happy to offer support and resources to guide you through it.
